MMA and FP8 packing helpers are generalized, with expanded correctness and engine-offering tests. ChangesSM120 FP8 SDPA support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR broadens FP8 attention support across dtypes, layouts, and shapes, but some configurations may still select an invalid memory-fitting tile and fail at runtime, while THD statistics handling has duplicated layout construction that could cause incorrect results if the paths diverge. These bounded correctness and availability risks need owner follow-up before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Rest of the review — 10 inline below, plus two that have no diff line to hang on.
Context: I wrote the engine this extends (#509), so these are mostly "here is why that limit was there", not objections. The correctness item is in a separate comment above and is my pre-existing bug, not this PR's.
heuristics.py:82 — the tile heuristic and the adapter size SMEM differently, and this PR makes the FP8 row an envelope row. (heuristics.py isn't touched here, so no inline anchor.)
_sm120_tiles / _mode_a call smem_bytes(facts.d_qk, facts.d_v, m, n, ...) on the graph's actual head dims, while check_support now rounds to the envelope granule (32 if fp8 else 16) and calls _sm120_smem_bytes(d_qp, d_vp, ...). So mode A can offer a tile_n the adapter then rejects at build — and because the tile arrives as a knob, the adapter's "pick the largest that fits" fallback is skipped, so the plan declines instead of degrading. That is exactly what _sm120_tiles' docstring promises it avoids ("Configs the kernel cannot fit are not runners-up").
Concretely on the f16 row, which shares this path: D_QK=184, D_V=200 gives 128*(184+200)*2 = 98304 <= 101376, so tile_n=128 is offered; the adapter rounds to 192/208 and gets 128*(192+208)*2 + 16 = 102416 > 101376. The FP8 row's own footprint always fits today (max 65536 B), so the new granule-32 gap is latent rather than firing — but the fix is to have the heuristic round with the same granule.
prefill_fp8_sm120.py:177 — SUPPORTED_HEAD_TILES is imported from the f16 16-granule list. It binds (16, 32, 48, ..., 256) on a class whose head tiles must be multiples of FP8_HEAD_TILE_GRANULE = 32 (SUPPORTED_HEAD_TILES_FP8); qk_d_frags = head_tile_qk // MMA_TILER[2] truncates silently, so a tile of 48 would contract 32 of 48 columns. Nothing reads the attribute today, so it is purely misleading for the next reader — and there is no __init__ assertion backing the docstring's "Must be a multiple of 32 between 32 and 256".
note to self: claude::304e9e55-1db7-4285-967f-001cb21032f3 — "cudnn-FE #509 SM120 FP8 engine + Scale_S scope"

There was a problem hiding this comment.
round_up_head_tile is implemented here, and open-coded again in the adapter — api_dsl.py computes granule = _SM120_FP8_HEAD_TILE_GRANULE if self._fp8 else _SM120_HEAD_TILE_GRANULE; d_qp = -(-d_q // granule) * granule to size SMEM.
The two must agree or __call__ raises "runtime Q/K head dimensions must round up to the kernel head_tile_qk" at trace time. Changing the FP8 granule (or adding a third) means editing two files.
This belongs in config_sm120.py next to FP8_HEAD_TILE_GRANULE, with both call sites importing it.

fallback when the SMEM-filtered fits list is empty. Update _sm120_tiles and the

Kernel side: the per-tensor kernels now take the scales as UNCONDITIONAL 1-element fp32 tensor params (descale_q/k/v + scale_o on SM100/107; those plus descale_s + scale_s on SM120) — one compile form, no flag. Every thread loads them (same address -> L2 broadcast) and folds exactly like the old host path; the scalar args carry only attn_scale*log2(e) / 1.0 / 1.0. Adapter side: execute binds the caller's tensors directly (None binds a cached 1.0 — the direct-API identity), and amax_o divides by the DEVICE scale_o (the same div_ as before, minus the readback; scale_o > 0 is caller contract, matching the backend). _scalar and every .item() are gone; the AGENTS.md known-violation entry is retired. descale_s/scale_s: - SM100/SM107 cast P unscaled: the values are now accepted and IGNORED (unsupported knobs on this cell). The execute-time reciprocal check was itself a Rule 3 readback — deleted along with its rationale helper; the old declines test becomes test_fp8_sm100_s_scales_ignored (wild non-reciprocal pair -> bitwise-identical O), and the reciprocal-pair bitwise test is unchanged. - SM120 keeps honoring free pairs (NVIDIA#595's contract, pinned by its s_scales_are_actually_applied test): ss folds into scale_s at the P cast and ds into the output scale — from the device tensors. Tests: sync-debug-pinned device-scale execute tests on both arches (the graph execute now runs under torch.cuda.set_sync_debug_mode(2), which the old .item() path cannot survive). Validated: SM100 (B200, 9.26 nightly) fp8 file L0+L1 + fp8/mxfp8 fwd sweeps — 349 passed, 0 failed. SM120 (RTX 5080, 9.24) fp8 file L0+L1 — 94 passed incl.

Since #606 the grid is the PLAN-TIME declared-S_q envelope (B * ceil(S_q_decl/CGA_TILE_M) * QH) and units past a sequence's live tiles drain via the batch == n_batch sentinel — no runtime length reaches the host. The comments now say so. (d256/d512 launches carry no such comment.) - python/cudnn/AGENTS.md Rule 3: the THD cu_seqlens entry was RESOLVED by #552/#606/#608, so it no longer belongs in the 'Known violations' list — dropped; the list keeps only the live ones.

Also repairs test_fp8_sm120_head_dim_tail_direct's direct-call helper (_run_template_tail) for the current kernel ABI. Those ten L1 tests had been failing with a positional-arg TypeError since PR #608 grew the kernel signature under them (#595's rewrite fixed it once; this ABI change would have re-broken it) — they were never numeric failures. With the helper repaired they pass 10/10. Tests: sync-debug-pinned device-scale execute tests on both arches (the graph execute now runs under torch.cuda.set_sync_debug_mode(2), which the old .item() path cannot survive). * frost(sdpa): bake a 2^4 P->fp8 cast bias into the FP8/MXFP8 prefill kernels The fp8-family kernels quantized the softmax result P to fp8 at unit scale. P after the online-softmax max subtraction is bounded by 2**RESCALE_THRESHOLD (4.0 for the fp8 dtypes — the lazy-rescale skip's slack), so unit-scale casting used at most 2^4 of e4m3's 448 range while flat-row entries (P ~ 1/S) sat near the format's subnormal cliff (~2^-9), losing relative precision from S ~ 512 up. Bake a constant P_CAST_LOG2_SCALE = 4.0 into each kernel (fp8 SM100/SM107/ SM120 and MXFP8 SM100 — MXFP8's block SFs cover Q/K/V, not P): P is cast as P * 2^4, so the cast peaks at 2^(4+4) = 256 < 448 — no saturation — and flat rows stay in e4m3's normal range out to S ~ 2^13. The invariant RESCALE_THRESHOLD + P_CAST_LOG2_SCALE <= log2(448) is documented at each constant. (This is NOT cuDNN's Scale_S — that knob no longer exists below the graph; the bias is an internal quantization choice.) The bias is numerically free everywhere except the improved quantization: it rides the exp2 argument (EX2 is binade-shift-exact), scaling by 2^4 commutes exactly with fp accumulation, and each kernel's structure keeps the bookkeeping exact — - SM100/SM107/MXFP8: total_sum accumulates in the same 2^4 units, so the O normalization (O_acc / total_sum) cancels the bias outright; the LSE subtracts the constant, and the sink denominator term is lifted into the same units. - SM120: row_sum is de-scaled by the EXACT 2^-4 before the finalize paths (sink mix, rcp, zero-row guards and LSE run on bit-identical true sums); the O leg's 2^4 cancels against a 2^-4 folded into o_scale_fused. Validated non-regressing across the fp8/mxfp8 fwd+bwd sweeps and both arch-specific fp8 files (the >128-head-dim tail accuracy tests pass 10/10 with margin at the tightened quantization).

Summary
Widens the SM120 FP8 SDPA forward engine (
sdpa_fwd_prefill_sm120_fp8) from its initial envelope (e4m3 in → fp16 out, head dims %32, BSHD dense, causal/SWA/padded/THD) toward parity with the f16 SM120 engine.New capabilities (each with a declared
Capabilitiesbit and tests):alpha / new_sum. Rows with zero visible keys produce finite LSE (= sink logit) and O = 0.seq_len_qtrim (dense padded): padded Q rows write O := 0, LSE := −inf, and are excluded from the amaxes; zero-length Q batches included.window_size_right > 0on both top-left and bottom-right diagonals.skv_tile=0: s_kv ≤ 128 graphs are served.dense_flexlayouts: any dense layout with the head dim innermost-contiguous is normalized to the kernel's compact BSHD by the shared adapter (one gather copy in, one scatter copy back for O; zero-copy when already BSHD-physical).Why
To enhance the SM120 SDPA forward FP8 engine.
